Digital Storytelling

I was impressed with the many ways that you can create a digital story. The beauty of it all, is that most of us are already doing the majority of it and don't even know it. The Four part step-by step approach to create a digital story from materials found on the web is one that I would love to implement in my class. The computer applications class is responsible for developing three cornerstone projects throughout the course. I am seriously considering having them to do a digital story. They are already familiar with the different resources that are available in the classroom as well as in the media center. By the end of this class, they will have learned about the dos and do nots of power pointing, a little bit of pod casting and a lot of using multi media. The greatest information found in this article is that some digital storytelling software programs are free especially with Microsoft Windows.
